[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#627797: checkfs does not depend on mdadm-raid

[Lars Doelle]

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.88dsf-13.7

Description

In parallel execution of the init-scripts, a race between checkfs
and mdadm-raid is possible that makes checkfs fail because
/dev/md0 is not yet created by mdadm-raid if the raid-device
is listed with fsck in the fstab, too.

Possible Correction

Add Required-Start: mdadm-raid to the init-info of checkfs.sh.


Further information

A self-compiled kernel without initrd.img is used here, so the
problem might not occur with a stock debian kernel package.


Kind regards
